The Rocket Man Flies

Sir Elton John. Legendary.

Most singers wow you with the stage set, the dancing and the costumes but all Elton John needs to do is sit at his piano and sing.

He’s a pro. He’s been singing longer than I’ve been alive. He knows how to handle the situation. Even while recovering from bronchitis, his voice still had the right pitch. The audience at Rod Laver were in awe.

It is a very humbling experience when you’re in the presence of a true genius. Some days I think to myself, “I could record myself singing on YouTube, get a few hits and maybe someone will notice that I have talent.” Then you watch a legend on stage, jamming with his band – a freeflow of creativity – you rethink and tell yourself, “I’ve got a long way to go.”
